I have a feeling most viewers are sick of the President storylines. Without seeing the script, I'm sure the viewer will be lead to believe she is working with the bad guys or is in over her head. This would just be a rehash of season 5 and 6 President storylines.
I would like to see the President be a minor character next season unless the producers have something original.

Geena Davis. At least then they can have an Emmy winner who played the President. Sure, not for 24, but still...

I wouldn't mind the show featuring the President yet again if the writers make "her" a competent one, who DOESN'T have an "agenda", and who DOESN'T have a staff filled with traitors and back stabbers. Just give us a decent person.
And if it IS Karen Hayes, I'm going to have a huge problem. Frankly, I'm a little sick of looking the other way when 24's writers do something totally absurd just because they weren't creative enough to think of something more reasonable.

How many damn Presidents is this show gonna go through?! And are they gonna flash-forward another 4 years to explain why there's a new President in office(unless she's replacing Palmer V.2 and Daniels)? If so, Jack's gonna be in his 50's.
24 needs to seriously ditch the President storyline. It was ok when it was David Palmer since he was such an integral part of Season 1's storyline and it would've been a mistake to let him go, but now it's every bit as cliched as the CTU antics.
And count me as skeptical about this whole thing. They sold everyone the same line of BS heading into Season 6. Remember the New York rumors and how the entire season was supposed to be about Jack saving his own ass? Neither of those panned out.

I'd prefer they stay away from the president angle all together.

Another president? What year does 24 take place in? Wasn't there a different president in every single season? How many years is one term in the 24 world????
